sPECIEICATIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 744,743, dated November 24, 1903.

' Application filed July 8., 1903. Serial No. 164,661. (No model.)

To all whom, t may-concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. GAULT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a newand useful Improvement in Insulating Handle Connections, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,`reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which lo form a part of this specification.

. My invention has for its object the production of a simple compact form of insulator for handles of vessels adapted to hold hot liquids, topbe connected to or inserted in the handle between the portion which is grasped bythe user and the body of the vessel, which is certain in action.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated my improved insulating handle connection.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a coffee-pot with myimproved insulators applied to the handle thereof. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view on line 2 2, Fig. l. Fig.

3 is a section on line 3 3, Fig. 2.

sectional view of the partsdetached.

1 is a vessel, here shown as a coee-pot; 2, the handle t-hereof. Between the central portion of the handle and the portions attached 3o to the vessel are inserted the insulating devices 3. These insulating devices are formed of the button or core, 4 of insulating material, having the contracted portion 5 forming the flange 6. v

'7 is a metallic plate having the projecting portion 8, which is connected to the core 4 by means of rivets 9, the heads of which rest in countersunk portions of the core.

l1 is a cap or shell, the fiange 12 of which 4o is spun or bent around the flange 6. This cap or shell 1l has the projecting portion 13.

The parts when assembled as described are connected by soldering, or otherwise, the projections 13 and 8,1espectively, to the end of the central portions of the handle and to the end of the piston-handle connected to the vessel.

. I do not intend to limit myself to the number of rivets or to a plurality of rivets. It

is also evident that in place of rivets screws 5o could be used, and when I have used rivets Fig. 4 is a tallic plate at the other end of saidV core, a

rivet or rivets securingsaid plate to the core, said rivet or rivets being insulated from said shell.

2. An insulator handle connection comprising a core of insulating' material, a metallic shell at one end of said core, the flange of said shell being bent upon said core and a metallic plate at the other end of said core,

a rivet or rivets securing said plate to said' core, the orifices in said Core for said rivet or rivets being countersunk on the face adjacent to said shell.

3. An insulator handle connection comprising a core of insulating material having 'a flange portion,'a metallic shell at one end of said core, the Ilange of said shell being bent around said flange portion, and a' me# tallic plate at the other end of said core, a rivet or rivets securing said plate to said core, said rivet or rivets being insulated from said shell.

4:. An insulator handle connection comprising a core of insulating material, having a iiange portion, a metallicshell at one end of said core, the flange of said shell being bent around said iiange portion, anda metallic plate at the other end of said core, a rivet or rivets securing said plate to said core, the orifices in said core for said rivet or rivets being countersunk on the face adjacent to said shell.

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, on this 1st day of July, 1903.

JOHN H.. GAULT.
